Imagine if you had $1000 in your pocket and someone told you, “We can fix Flint, Michigan’s water immediately for a total of $65.”

Would you give them the $65?

Now, change $1000 to $1 Billion, and $65 to $65 Million.

Exact same thing.

All these billionaires, yet no solutions.
$1 Billion is 1000 million. It will cost about $65 million to fix Flint’s water supply.

Jeff Bezos is worth 140,000 million dollars. He has a million dollars 140,000 times. He does nothing but hoard it.

Imagine having $140,000 and it’s only $65 to fix Flint’s water...
Bill Gates donates to help in Africa, but not here. He has 97,800 million dollars.

Imagine having $97,800 in your pocket and it only costs $65 to fix Flint’s water, but saying, “No thanks. I’d rather keep all of it.”

That’s our billionaire disease.

Had a response talking about how this is a “capitalist country” and we should “deal with it”. But it’s not.
